Description

Mattress cover for pet mattress

The present invention relates to a mattress cover for a pet mattress used when raising dogs and other pets.

For pet mattresses for pets such as dogs or cats to lie down freely, there are known pet mattresses equipped with: a ring-shaped frame with a concave portion inside and a cushion body pressed into the concave portion mattress. With such a pet mattress, since the cushion body can be removed for washing, the hygienic state can be maintained well.

Among them, as a sanitary pet mattress, there is known a pet mattress equipped with a removable and washable mattress cover. As such a pet mattress, for example, in Patent Document 1, a ring-shaped frame member is arranged at the inner bottom of a mattress cover formed in a bag shape, and the frame member is used as an opening for access and placed at the center of the frame member And, by folding the mattress cover inside, the outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface of the frame member is covered by the mattress cover, and the remaining mattress cover fabric including the opening is spread on the On the upper surface of the inner bottom of the mattress cover, on the one hand, a mattress body with a recessed part inside is constructed, and on the other hand, a block with a flat shape approximately the same as the shape of the recessed part is constructed. The body is pressed into the recess to form a pet mattress, which is proposed for pet animal mattresses.

The pet animal mattress disclosed in Patent Document 1 can allow the frame member to enter and exit from the opening of the mattress cover even if it does not use a zipper or other attachment and detachment member, and it can be used by the block arranged at the seat position The body prevents the fabric of the remaining mattress cover including the opening from being exposed and clogged, so that the sewing cost can be suppressed, and the washing operation is easy to perform, which is very hygienic.

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 4422604

However, like the pet animal mattress of Patent Document 1, the frame body with the mattress cover formed in a bag shape is only embedded in a block body that is a separate member. The block body is relative to the frame body. The body is not fixed, so if a pet such as a dog digs (for example, because of the pet’s habit of digging) the bottom surface of the recess of the pet mattress (that is, the outer surface of the upper side of the block) When the pet’s claws hook onto the bottom surface of the aforementioned recess or the groove at the boundary between the block and the frame, the block may shift from the frame or fall off.

In addition, it is also conceivable to cover the entire pet mattress constructed by embedding the block in the frame with a mattress cover from the upper side of the mattress. However, even if the mattress is covered by the mattress cover in this way, Because the frame is more protruding than the block A gap is formed between the mattress cover and the block. Therefore, if the pet digs the bottom surface of the concave portion of the pet mattress as described above, a part of the mattress cover will move with the movement of the pet’s paws. The above-mentioned gap may also function as a movable allowable space for the block. Therefore, there will still be pet's claws hooking to the bottom surface of the above-mentioned recess or the groove at the boundary between the block and the frame, and the block is removed from the frame. The risk of shifting or falling off.

Here, an object of the present invention is to provide a mattress cover to be attached to a pet mattress, the pet mattress having: a frame and a block that is detachably embedded in the frame and is mounted on When a pet mattress is used, the block is not easy to shift or fall off from the frame.

One aspect of the present invention (Form 1) is a mattress cover attached to a pet mattress having a frame and a block that is detachably embedded in the frame, and is characterized by: the above-mentioned mattress The cover includes: a sheet-like member, a holding member, and an attachment member; the sheet-like member has a first surface forming an outer surface and a side opposite to the first surface when the sheet-shaped member is attached to the pet mattress The second surface, in a plan view of the unfolded state, is provided with a central portion located in the center of the mattress cover and an extension portion extending from the central portion toward the outer edge of the sheet-like member; the holding member , Either the first surface or the second surface provided in the central portion of the sheet-like member to hold the block The mounting member is provided on the extension portion of the sheet-like member for detachably attaching the mattress cover to the frame.

The mattress cover of this form 1, by having a holding member for holding the block of the pet mattress, when the mattress is put on the pet mattress, it will become between the mattress cover and the block. It is not easy to form a gap between the blocks, and since the movable range of the block can be restricted, the block is unlikely to deviate from the frame or fall off.

Furthermore, since the mattress cover of this form 1 has an attachment member for attaching the mattress cover to the frame of the pet mattress, when the mattress is wrapped on the pet mattress, the mattress The cover is fixed to the frame of the pet mattress and becomes difficult to move. As a result, the block held by the mattress cover also becomes difficult to move (that is, it becomes difficult to shift or fall off from the frame. ).

Thereby, the mattress cover of this form 1, when the mattress is put on the pet mattress, even if pets such as dogs dig (due to the pet’s digging habits) On the bottom surface (that is, the outer surface on the upper side of the block), the block is not easily shifted from the frame or falls off.

In addition, in the specification of this patent, the term "offset of the block from the frame" means that at least a part of the block is completely embedded in the block to the direction in which the block is detached from the frame (for example, (Upper side) The state where the position continues to change but does not completely fall off from the frame. In addition, "the block body falls off from the frame" means that at least a part of the block body is completely embedded in the block body or the block body is removed from the The state in which the frame body is shifted becomes a state of completely falling off from the frame body (that is, the state separated from the frame body state).

Furthermore, in another form (Form 2) of the present invention, in the mattress cover of Form 1 described above, the holding member is provided on the second surface of the central portion of the sheet-like member.

In the form 2 mattress cover, since the holding member is provided on the second surface of the central portion of the sheet-like member, even if the pet sits on the mattress (especially, the outer surface of the upper side of the frame), the mattress The cover is pulled open toward the outer side of the horizontal direction of the mattress cover, but the block held by the mattress cover is not easy to generate force in the direction of falling off the frame (the direction toward the upper side), as described above Things like the block body shifting from the frame or falling off will become less likely to happen.

In addition, if the mattress of the form 2 is wrapped on a pet mattress, the outer surface of the upper side of the mattress will be formed by the central part of the sheet-like member constituting the mattress cover and the first extension part. Because the groove-like interface between the frame and the block constituting the mattress is not exposed to the outer surface, the mattress cover of this form 2 can even dig the upper outer surface of the mattress. , The pet's claws are also not easy to enter the above-mentioned groove-shaped junction, which can more reliably prevent the block from shifting or falling off the frame.

Furthermore, in another aspect (Aspect 3) of the present invention, in the mattress cover of the foregoing aspect 2, the central portion of the sheet-like member is made stretchable.

In the third form of the mattress cover, since the center portion of the sheet-like member is stretchable, even if the pet sits on the mattress, the mattress cover is directed toward the outer side of the horizontal plane of the mattress cover. Open like The elasticity of the central part will also cushion the force, and will not be transmitted to the block held by the mattress cover. If the block is offset from the frame or falls off, it will become more Not easy to happen.

Furthermore, in another aspect of the present invention (Aspect 4), in any mattress cover of the foregoing aspects 1 to 3, the holding member is used to accommodate the accommodating member of the block, and the accommodating member has Used to insert the opening of the above-mentioned block.

In the fourth form of the mattress cover, the holding member is used to accommodate the block, and it is provided with an opening accommodating member (for example, a pocket, etc.), and the block can be held more securely, so the block is separated from the mattress cover , Or offset from the frame, or fall off, it will become more difficult to happen.

Furthermore, in another aspect of the present invention (Aspect 5), in the mattress cover of the foregoing aspect 2 or 3, the retaining member is used to accommodate the elastic accommodating member of the block, and has the expansion and contraction. The sexual containing member has an opening for inserting the above-mentioned block.

In the fifth form of the mattress cover, since the holding member is a flexible accommodating member (for example, a stretchable pocket, etc.) for accommodating the block, it is not only effective as in the above form 4, but also Even if the pet sits on the mattress and the mattress cover is pulled apart toward the outer side of the mattress cover, the elastic receiving member will stretch to cushion the force. , It will not be transmitted to the block body held by the mattress cover, and it can more reliably prevent the above-mentioned block body from shifting or falling off from the frame.

Furthermore, another aspect of the present invention (Form 6) is the above In any of the above-mentioned forms 1 to 3, the extension part of the sheet-like member is made stretchable.

In the sixth form of the mattress cover, since the extension of the sheet-like member is stretchable, even if the pet sits on the mattress, the mattress cover is directed toward the outer side of the horizontal plane of the mattress cover. Pulling apart, the stretchable extension part will also cushion this force, and it will not be transmitted to the block held by the mattress cover, such as the block deviating from the frame or falling off. It becomes less likely to happen.

Furthermore, in another aspect of the present invention (Aspect 7), in the mattress cover of the foregoing aspect 6, the extension portion of the sheet-like member is provided with a stretchable stretchable portion and adjacent to the central portion And a low-stretch part having lower stretchability than the aforementioned stretch part.

The mattress cover of this form 7 is provided with an extension portion of the sheet-like member having a stretchable portion and a low-stretch portion adjacent to the center portion and having a lower stretchability than the stretchable portion. Therefore, not only can it be as effective as the above-mentioned claim 6, plus, even if the pet sits on the mattress, the mattress cover is pulled apart toward the outer side of the horizontal plane of the mattress cover. Due to this force, it is easy to act on the entire central portion surrounded by the low-stretch portion of the sheet-like member (that is, it becomes less likely to be biased to act on a part of the central portion), as the block is rolled up from the frame and deviates , Or falling off, it will become more difficult to happen.

In addition, when the aforementioned low-stretch portion is formed by the stitched portion or joint portion of a plurality of sheets constituting the sheet-like member, it is easy to recognize from the first surface side (that is, the outer surface side). So keep the above When the block mattress is fitted on the frame, the low-stretch part adjacent to the central part of the sheet-like member becomes the identification target and the block position can be easily determined.

Furthermore, in another aspect (Aspect 8) of the present invention, in the mattress cover of the foregoing aspects 1 to 3, the attachment member is an elastic member in which the outer edge of the sheet-like member is made stretchable.

The mattress cover of this form 8, because the mounting member is made of the outer edge of the sheet-like member as a stretchable elastic member, it is not only easy to mount the mattress cover on a pet mattress, but also, The above-mentioned mattress cover uses the entire outer edge of the above-mentioned sheet-like member to be more surely fixed to the above-mentioned pet mattress. Thereby, in the mattress cover of this form 8, things like the block body shifting from the frame body together with the mattress cover, or falling off, will become more difficult to occur.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mattress for pets having a frame body and a block body that is detachably embedded in the frame body, the block body does not easily shift from the frame body or fall off set.

In addition, in this patent specification, unless otherwise stated, "an object placed on a horizontal surface in the expanded state (for example, mattress cover, pet mattress, etc.) viewed from the upper side of the vertical direction toward the thickness direction of the object )" is simply called "under the top view", and furthermore, the figure viewed from the top view is called the "plan view".

The various directions adopted in this patent specification are as follows unless otherwise stated.

In this patent specification, "width direction W" means "top view "The shorter direction (short-side direction) of the length of the vertically-long object below", "long-side direction L" refers to the "longer direction of the length of the vertically-long object in a plan view", " The "thickness direction" means "the vertical direction with respect to the object placed on the horizontal surface in the expanded state". The relationship between the width direction W, the longitudinal direction L, and the thickness direction is that they are orthogonal to each other. Furthermore, in the specification of this patent, "the lengthwise object (for example, mattress cover, pet mattress, etc.) placed on the horizontal surface in the unfolded state, relative to the width extending in the longitudinal direction L The intersection (center point) between the central axis of the direction and the central axis of the longitudinal direction extending in the width direction W. The relatively proximal side” is called the “inner side of the horizontal direction”. The upper longitudinal object (for example, mattress cover, pet mattress, etc.), with respect to the intersection of the widthwise central axis extending in the longitudinal direction L and the longitudinal central axis extending in the widthwise direction W (Central point), the relatively distant side" is called the "outer side in the horizontal direction". Moreover, in this patent specification, "height", unless otherwise stated, means the distance from an object placed on a horizontal surface (for example, a pet mattress, etc.) from the horizontal plane as the reference surface.

In addition, in this patent specification, as long as there is no special statement, in the thickness direction of pet mattresses (including pet mattresses with mattress covers), "when used in pet mattresses, relative to The placement surface of a pet mattress is referred to as the “upper side”, and the “rear side relative to the placement surface of the pet mattress when used on a pet mattress” is referred to as the “back side”. "Side" or "below side". Furthermore, the mattress cover or the sheet-like member constituting the mattress cover is exposed to the outside when the pet mattress is installed The surface on the side is called the "outer surface", and the surface on the opposite side to the outer surface and the surface on the side that is in contact with the pet mattress on which the body is mounted is called the "back".

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pet mattress 1 equipped with a mattress cover 5 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the back side (placement surface side). Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III of Fig. 1.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a pet mattress 1 equipped with a mattress cover 5 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in a plan view, is provided with: a longitudinal direction L and a width direction W is a roughly rectangular shape with an arc. In addition, in the present invention, the outer shape of the pet mattress in plan view is not limited to the shape of such an embodiment, and any shape can be adopted according to the size of the target pet or the desired creativity, etc. (for example, , Circle, oval, square, triangle, star, etc.). In addition, the size of the pet mattress 1 can be appropriately set according to the size or type of the pet using the mattress. For example, when the pet is a small or medium-sized dog, the length in the longitudinal direction L is about 400mm~1400mm , The length of the width direction W is about 250mm~1200mm.

In addition, in this patent specification, there are cases where a pet mattress without a mattress cover is called a mattress body.

The pet mattress 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, is composed of a frame 2 and a mattress body 4 so as to cover a part of the back from the upper side of the mattress cover 5; the frame 2 is along each side of a substantially rectangular shape having a longitudinal direction L, a width direction W, and a thickness direction T Frame shape; The mattress body 4 is composed of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped block 3 that can be detachably embedded in the frame 2 and has cushioning properties. The mattress cover 5 continuously holds the block 3 by the accommodating member 51 described later, and covers the whole of the mattress body 4 (frame 2 and block 3) from the upper side to a part of the back. As shown in Figure 2, on the back of the mattress body 4, the peripheral edge 53 of the mattress cover 5 is reduced by the contraction force of the elastic thread 52 (for example, rubber rope, etc.) (that is, the peripheral edge of the mattress cover 5 The opening formed by the portion 53 is narrowed in diameter), so it can be fixed to the mattress body 4 (specifically, fixed to the frame 2). In addition, in this patent specification, the so-called "fixed" does not mean a term of rigorous immobility, but refers to the fact that the mattress cover or pet mattress is soft or deformable, and it means that it includes a state of movement to a certain extent. Those who use the terms.

The pet mattress 1 constructed in this way, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the peripheral portion 4S of the mattress body 4 is raised upward by the frame 2 (height becomes higher), and is covered by the peripheral portion The central portion surrounded by 4S is configured as a recessed portion 4R recessed toward the back side. Next, on the back side of the bottom surface of the recess 4R, a cushioning block 3 is arranged, and on the bottom surface of the recess 4R, the body of the pet can be supported while dispersing the body pressure of the pet. Therefore, the pet can lie down in the recess 4R as a sleeping bed or rest in the recess 4R.

In addition, the peripheral edge portion 4S of the mattress main body 4 is provided with a frame-like shape in plan view extending along each side of the substantially rectangular shape similarly to the frame body 2 described above. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the peripheral edge portion 4S is formed One of the four sides is formed to bulge upward relative to the other sides The high part 4H of the mattress body (that is, the height is relatively high) can function as a backrest of a pet lying horizontally in the recess 4R. On the other hand, three of the four sides constituting the peripheral edge portion 4S are formed as the mattress body low portion 4L, which is relatively lower in height than the mattress body high portion 4H, so that pets can easily enter and exit the concave portion 4R, and It can also function as a pillow for the head of a pet lying horizontally in the recess 4R.

In addition, the pet mattress to which the mattress cover of the present invention is applied is not limited to such a structure. For example, the peripheral part of the mattress body can also be made into a mattress body with two of the four sides being high in height. The high part can also have the same height on all four sides. In addition, when the shape of the peripheral edge portion of the mattress main body in a plan view is circular or the like, a part of the circular peripheral edge portion may be a high-height mattress main body high portion.

The pet mattress 1 is placed at a specific position in the pet's breeding space (for example, indoors, etc.), as shown in Figure 1, the above-mentioned recess 4R should be placed upward, so that the pet can freely enter and exit the recess 4R for rest The way to use. In addition, the pet mattress 1 can be directly placed on the floor surface or the ground of the above-mentioned breeding space, and can also be placed with a specific support material or paving material interposed.

Here, the subject pet of the pet mattress to which the mattress cover of the present invention is applied is not particularly limited as long as it is an animal that can be bred as a pet. Mammals such as dogs, cats, or rabbits, and others can also be used for snakes, etc. Animals such as reptiles, amphibians, etc., and animals that have the habit of digging ground or floor surfaces, or digging holes (for example, dogs, cats, or rabbits, etc.) are particularly suitable for use.

Next, the mattress cover 5 attached to the aforementioned pet mattress (mattress body 4) will be described. In addition, Fig. 4(a) is a plan view of the outer surface side of the mattress cover 5 in an expanded state according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 4(b) is a bed according to an embodiment of the present invention A plan view of the back side of the cushion cover 5 in the expanded state.

The mattress cover 5 of this embodiment is used to be attached to a pet mattress (specifically, a mattress body) having a frame 2 and a block 3 that is detachably embedded in the frame 2 4) The mattress cover, and the above-mentioned mattress cover 5, as shown in Figures 3 and 4 (a) and (b), is provided with a first surface that forms an outer surface when mounted on a pet mattress 5A and the sheet-shaped member 50 of the second surface 5B on the opposite side of the first surface 5A, and in a plan view of the unfolded state, includes: a sheet-shaped member 50, a receiving member 51, and an elastic thread 52; The shape member 50 has a central portion 5C located approximately in the center of the mattress cover 5 and an extension portion 5E extending from the central portion 5C toward the outer edge of the sheet-shaped member 50; the receiving member 51 is provided Either the first surface 5A or the second surface 5B in the central portion 5C of the sheet-like member 50 serves as a holding member for holding the block 3; the elastic thread 52 is provided on the sheet-like member The extension part 5E of 50 serves as an attachment member for attaching the mattress cover 5 to the frame 2 detachably.

Regarding the mattress cover 5 of the present embodiment, it is not easy to form between the mattress cover 5 and the block 3 by having a receiving member 51 (holding member) that is useful for holding the block 3 of the pet mattress. The gap (refer to Figure 3) can limit the movable range of the block 3 (that is, the block 3 In the range of movement), the block 3 is not easy to deviate from the frame 2 or fall off.

Furthermore, the mattress cover 5 is provided with elastic threads 52 (mounting members) for attaching the mattress cover 5 to the frame 2 of the pet mattress, so the mattress cover 5 is fixed to the pet mattress. The frame 2 is not easy to move, and accordingly, the block 3 held by the mattress cover 5 is also difficult to move (that is, it is not easy to deviate from the frame 2 or fall off).

Therefore, when the mattress cover 5 of the present embodiment is attached to a pet mattress, even if a pet such as a dog digs (due to the pet’s digging habits) the bottom surface of the recess 4R of the pet mattress ( That is, the outer surface of the upper side of the block 3), the block 3 is also unlikely to shift from the frame 2 or fall off.

Here, a description will be given of a pet mattress (mattress body) to which the mattress cover of the present invention is applied. Also, Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a pet mattress equipped with the mattress cover of the present invention.

The pet mattress (mattress body 4) equipped with the mattress cover of the present invention, as shown in Figure 5, is composed of a frame 2 and a block 3; the frame 2 is provided along with There is a frame shape extending from each side of a substantially rectangular shape in the longitudinal direction L, the width direction W, and the thickness direction T; the block 3 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is detachably embedded in the frame 2 and has cushioning properties .

Furthermore, the frame body part 21 has a frame-like structure extending along each side of a substantially rectangular shape. The side is formed as a frame high portion 21H that is relatively higher than the other sides. When the frame 2 (specifically, in the frame recess 22) is inserted into the block 3 to form the mattress body 4, the structure can be The mattress body high part 4H functions as a backrest for pets. On the other hand, three of the four sides of the frame body portion 21 are formed as a frame low portion 21L that is relatively lower in height than the aforementioned frame high portion 21H, and the block 3 is inserted into the frame 2 to form it. In the case of the mattress body 4, the lower part 4L of the mattress body which can function as a pillow on which a pet can be placed is constructed.

The member or material constituting the main body portion 21 of the frame body is not particularly limited. For example, a cushion material such as urethane foam or foam beads is covered with a cloth, and those known in the art can be used. Furthermore, the frame body portion 21 may be constituted by a one-piece molded article provided with the above-mentioned frame-shaped structure, or may be constituted by combining a plurality of structures (for example, four substantially linear structures).

In addition, the frame recess 22 surrounded by the frame main body 21, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, has a bottom 22B made of a mesh fabric continuous from the back of the frame main body 21 (for example, It is formed by a woven fabric or braid made of synthetic fibers, so that moisture does not accumulate in the block 3 and the like embedded in the frame recess 22, thereby ensuring air permeability. In addition, the above-mentioned net-like fabric is pasted across the entire back surface of the frame body 21.

On the other hand, the block 3, as shown in Fig. 5, is composed of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cushion material having a longitudinal direction L, a width direction W, and a thickness direction T, and is arranged to form a pet The bottom surface of the concave part 4R of the sleeping bed of the mattress corresponds to the position, so that one side can lie on the concave The body pressure of the pet in the part 4R is dispersed, while supporting the body of the pet. The length of the block 3 in various directions (ie, the size of a rectangular parallelepiped) is not particularly limited as long as it can support the body of a pet lying horizontally in the recess 4R, and any size can be adopted.

In addition, the material constituting the block 3 is not particularly limited as long as the block can function as a cushioning material. For example, urethane foam or a web-like fiber structure made of thermoplastic resin can be used. Wait. Among them, it has high reversibility and excellent cushioning performance, and considering the excellent performance in terms of air permeability, water permeability, or durability, the block body uses a network of thermoplastic resin The fiber structure is ideal. In addition, the network-like fiber structure is a structure in which a large number of loops are formed by fibrous materials of thermoplastic resin, and they are randomly intertwined with each other, and are thermally fused to each other to be joined. As the thermoplastic resin forming the network-shaped fiber structure, for example, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyether resins, polyolefin resins, etc. can be used.

Hereinafter, while referring to the mattress cover 5 related to the above-mentioned embodiment, various members constituting the mattress cover of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[Flake member]

As described above, it is the sheet-like member 50 which is the main component of the mattress cover 5. As shown in Fig. 4(a) etc., in a plan view of the unfolded state, it has a longitudinal direction L5 and a width direction W5 is a substantially rectangular sheet-shaped member having a central portion 5C located approximately at the center of the mattress cover 5 and an outer edge of the sheet-shaped member 50 from the central portion 5C (that is, the peripheral edge portion 53 of the mattress cover 5). ) Extends out of the extension 5E. The central portion 5C and the extension portion 5E may be formed by a single sheet-like member, or, alternatively, by combining one sheet forming the central portion 5C with one sheet or a plurality of sheets forming the extension portion 5E The sheet is composed of a composite sheet-like member joined by stitching or the like.

In addition, the sheet-like member 50 shown in FIG. 4 is composed of a composite sheet-like member formed by combining one sheet forming the central portion 5C and 4 sheets forming the extension portion 5E The sheets are stitched to each other and joined (5D in Fig. 4(a), the stitched part (line)), the central part 5C, as shown in Fig. 4(a), is arranged close to a sheet with a substantially rectangular shape The position of one long side of the member 50 (the side of the lower side in Fig. 4(a)). The central part 5C is arranged in this way because it corresponds to the extension of the above-mentioned frame high part 21H The extension part 5E (the extension part 5E located on the upper side of Fig. 4(a)) is formed so as to completely cover the frame high part 21H. In this way, the central portion 5C is not strictly required to be located at the center of the sheet-like member, but corresponds to the structure of the frame 2 of the mattress body 4 and is allowed to be displaced from the center of the sheet-like member, in other words, as long as it is relatively It is sufficient for the extension to be located close to the relatively center.

Here, as the sheet-like member (including the sheet forming the central part and the sheet forming the extension part), there is no particular limitation as long as it can be used as the base material of the mattress cover. For example, woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, Various sheet-like members such as leather, synthetic leather, and resin sheets. However, from the viewpoints of flexibility, air permeability, ease of cleaning (easy to wash), strength, etc., fiber sheets such as woven fabrics or woven fabrics are preferred. ideal. In addition, when the sheet-like member is formed of such a fiber sheet, the constituent fiber is not particularly limited, and for example, synthetic fiber (for example, polyester fiber, nylon fiber, etc.), natural fiber (for example, cotton, silk, etc.), Any fibers such as regenerated fibers (for example, rayon, cuproammonium, etc.), semi-synthetic fibers (acetate fibers, etc.).

Next, in the present invention, it is preferable that the central portion of the sheet-like member has stretchability. If the central part of the sheet-like member is stretchable, even if the pet sits on the mattress, the mattress cover will be pulled apart by a force toward the outer side of the horizontal plane of the mattress cover. The central part also cushions this force without being transmitted to the block held by the mattress cover, so it is more difficult for the block to shift or fall off from the frame.

Furthermore, in the present invention, it is also preferable that the extension portion of the sheet-like member is stretchable. If the extension portion of the sheet-like member is stretchable, even if the pet sits on the mattress, the mattress cover will be stretched outwards toward the horizontal direction of the mattress cover. The extension part also cushions this force without being transmitted to the block held by the mattress cover, so it is less likely to happen when the block deviates from the frame or falls off.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the extension portion of the sheet-like member preferably includes a stretchable portion having stretchability and a low stretchable portion adjacent to the center portion and having a stretchability lower than that of the stretchable portion. In addition, the form of the low-elasticity portion is not particularly limited. For example, the low-elasticity portion, as in the above-mentioned embodiment, can also be formed by stitching between one sheet forming the central portion 5C and four sheets forming the extension portion 5E. 5D (joint part) may be formed, and the specific area of the extension part 5E may be formed of a material with low stretchability so as to surround the central part 5C. If the extension portion of the sheet-like member is provided with a stretchable stretchable portion and a low stretchable portion adjacent to the central portion and having lower stretchability than the stretchable portion, it is not only the stretchable portion that has The effect of the stretchability, in addition, even if the pet sits on the mattress, and the mattress cover is pulled apart toward the outer side of the horizontal plane of the mattress cover, the force is easy to It acts on the entire central portion surrounded by the low-stretch portion of the sheet-like member (that is, it becomes less likely to act on a part of the central portion), so it is unlikely to be rolled up from the block held by the mattress cover and deviated , Or fall off the advantages of things like that.

In addition, when the low-elasticity portion located at the above-mentioned extension portion is formed by the stitching portion or joint portion of a plurality of sheets constituting the sheet-like member as in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is easy to move from the first surface side (also That is, the outer surface side) recognizes the low-stretched portion surrounding the central portion, so when the mattress holding the block body is wrapped in the frame, the low-stretched portion surrounding the center portion of the sheet-like member is also the target of identification, making it easy to identify Determine the advantages of block location.

[Holding member]

As described above, regarding the mattress cover 5 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4(b), and FIG. 6, it is used to hold the block 3 of the pet mattress (mattress body 4) The accommodating member 51 is provided on the second surface 5B of the central portion 5C of the sheet-like member 50 described above. In this embodiment, the accommodating member 51, as shown in Figure 4 (b) and Figure 6 (a), is a pocket provided with an opening 51a and an accommodating space extending continuously from the opening 51a, so that the opening can be removed from the opening 51a. The block 3 inserted in 51a is constructed in such a way that it is surely maintained in the above-mentioned containing space. In the mattress cover of the present invention, the retaining member for retaining the above-mentioned block is not particularly limited as long as the block can be retained. For example, a rubber belt provided on the first or second surface of the sheet-like member, Arbitrary members such as engagement means (for example, buttons and button holes, mechanical zippers, binding ropes, etc.) provided on both the first or second surface of the sheet-like member and the surface of the block, but such as As in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is particularly desirable to use a receiving member (for example, a pocket, etc.) provided with an opening for receiving the block. If the retaining member of the mattress cover is Such a receiving member can more reliably hold the block, so that things like the block separating from the mattress cover, or shifting from the frame, or falling off, will become less likely to occur.

Furthermore, in the mattress cover of the present invention, when the holding member is the above-mentioned accommodating member having an opening, the accommodating member is more preferably a retractable accommodating member. If the holding member is a flexible receiving member (for example, a flexible pocket, etc.), not only the above-mentioned holding member can be used as the receiving member, but also, even if the pet sits on the mattress For the mattress cover, the force is applied to the outer side of the horizontal direction of the mattress cover, and the elastic accommodating member also stretches and cushions such force without being transmitted to the mattress cover. The block body can more reliably prevent the block body from shifting or falling off from the frame.

In addition, in the mattress cover of the present invention, the holding member may be provided on either the first surface or the second surface of the sheet-shaped member, but the holding member, as in the above-mentioned embodiment, is provided in the sheet-like shape. The second surface of the central part of the member is ideal. If the holding member is provided on the second surface at the center of the sheet-like member, even if the pet sits on the mattress (especially, the outer surface of the upper side of the frame), the mattress cover is facing the bed The outer side of the cushion cover in the horizontal direction is pulled apart, but the block held by the mattress cover is not easy to generate force in the direction of falling from the frame (the direction toward the upper side), and the block deviates from the frame. , Or falling off is less likely to happen. Furthermore, when the mattress is put on a pet mattress (mattress body), the outer surface of the upper side of the mattress is formed by the central part and the extension part of the sheet-like member constituting the mattress cover Is formed by the first surface of the The groove-shaped junction between the frame and the block of the mattress is not exposed on the outer surface, so even if the pet digs the outer surface of the upper side of the mattress, the pet’s claws will not easily enter the groove-shaped junction. It can more reliably prevent the block from shifting or falling off from the frame.

In the mattress cover of the present invention, the structure and size of the holding member (including the receiving member, etc.) are not particularly limited as long as the block can be held on the sheet-like member. Any structure or size may be adopted, but the sheet is used. The structure or size, etc., in which a gap is not easily formed between the shaped member and the block is preferable. If a gap is not easily formed between the sheet-like member and the block, the movable range of the block can be restricted, so that the block is less likely to shift from the frame or fall off.

In addition, in the mattress cover of the present invention, the material forming the holding member (including the accommodating member, etc.) is not particularly limited as long as it can reliably hold the block in the sheet-like member. For example, the same as the above-mentioned sheet-like member can be used. By.
